Instability Issue and Firmware Bug Report - Bluetti Premium 200

Alex.G · February 13, 2026, 7:51am

I am writing to report a instability issue with my Bluetti Premium 200, purchased 6 days ago.

Firmware Update Instability
The device functioned perfectly for the first 3 days. However, immediately after installing the latest firmware update via the Bluetti App, the unit started behaving erratically.

Symptoms:

Random Switching: The device frequently switches from grid bypass to battery power autonomously, causing unnecessary battery cycling.

No-Load Issue: I have tested the unit completely without any load connected, and the problem persists.

Constant Recharging: The battery constantly engages in recharging cycles even when it is already at a full charge of 100%.

Grid Context:
My facility is equipped with a dedicated power quality monitoring system. No voltage drops or frequency fluctuations were recorded on the input grid during these events. The issue appears to be caused solely by the device/firmware logic, not the AC input quality.

Device Condition & History Verification
I also request assistance in verifying if this unit was brand new upon purchase.

Observations: Upon unboxing, I noticed minor physical wear on the casing. Furthermore, before the firmware update, I checked the BMS “Protection Status” log, and it contained a large history of protection triggers. The update unfortunately wiped these logs.

Request: Is there a way to check the total Battery Cycle Count or Total Runtime Hours via the engineering menu or specific parameters? I need to confirm the device’s usage history.

Device Information:

Model: Bluetti Premium 200

SN: PR200V22524000062065

Current Firmware Versions:

IoT v8024.12

ARM v2189.05

DSP v2188.03

BMS v1081.02

Please advise on how to stabilize the AC input switching or roll back the firmware, and how to verify the battery health data?

Good day, @BLUETTI @BLUETTI_CARE. On February 12, I sent a support request to service@bluettipower.com and also posted about this issue on the forum regarding my Bluetti Premium 200. I have not received any response so far. Could you please advise whether it makes sense to continue waiting for a firmware fix, or if it would be better to return the device to the retailer? I only have a few days left to return it and get a refund.

The current firmware occasionally shows incorrect electrical parameters, which raises concerns about the safety of the equipment connected to the station. On one occasion, my computer even shut down during a critical stage of a multi-hour code compilation and 3D rendering process.

For comparison, I have ordered a similar power station from EcoFlow. I cannot yet comment on its overall quality, but I should note that their customer support responded to my questions much more promptly.

Since you purchased outside of the official Bluetti store, they will not step in until the distributor (aka the retail store)'s policy has expired. You have to follow their return policy. Be sure to check the return policy gotchas such as “No returns for change of mind”. If that is the case, you would want to submit a RMA under the basis that the unit is defective per the firmware update.

I understand your point regarding distributor-first policies, but based on my real-world experience with other manufacturers, I have to disagree with the idea that the vendor should remain completely hands-off until the retailer’s po

To be honest, in my personal experience, I have rarely encountered such a poor level of customer communication as I have with Bluetti so far. For six days now, I have not received a single response - not even a basic acknowledgment that my message was received or is under review. To me, this speaks volumes about how the company treats its customers, especially when the issue involves safety and device stability.

Without praising competitors too much, I will note one simple fact: I contacted another manufacturer yesterday with a similar technical question, and they responded promptly the same day. Today, their regional representative even followed up personally to ask whether additional help was needed. In my view, this is what customer

I’d also like to respectfully push back on the idea that manufacturers cannot or should not intervene before a retailer’s return window closes. About six months ago, I purchased a Samsung monitor. After four days of use, I noticed a display defect (half of the screen showed incorrect colors, which temporarily disappeared after reboot). I contacted the manufacturer directly. The very next day, Samsung sent an engineer to my home, who performed a firmware update on-site and resolved the issue imme

Given that experience, I genuinely do not understand why Bluetti’s engineers cannot do something similar remotely - especially when the problem was introduced by an official firmware update and could potentially be mitigated by providing an alternative firmware version

At this point, my goal is not to bypass the retailer’s policy, but to make an informed and safe decision before the return window closes. Without any communication from Bluetti, I’m left with no choice but to assume that support will not arrive in time and to protect myself

Hi @Alex.G, thank you for contacting us.
Due to the ongoing Chinese New Year holiday, our response times may be longer than usual. We appreciate your patience.Rest assured that we have escalated your issue to the technical department and scheduled a rollback to the original firmware.
If we can find the original firmware, we will push it to you.Please note that we will rename the old firmware to v99.Please only upgrade once.After upgrading, contact us to remove the upgrade prompt.You can ignore any future upgrade notifications.
Thank you for your support and help, @sealy1986.

Hello, @BLUETTI_CARE , thank you for your reply.

I appreciate the clarification about delays due to the holidays and that the issue has been forwarded to the technical department. However, I would like to point out that my initial request was sent before the holidays began (emailing), and for several days I received no response - no acknowledgement of receipt and no status update. Since the problem concerns unstable device behavior and a potential risk to connected equipment, the lack of communication caused serious concern. Moreover, based on posts from other users on Reddit, it gives the impression that the company’s support team regularly responds slowly regardless of holiday periods.

Regarding the planned rollback: please confirm whether the original firmware has actually been located and provide an approximate timeframe for when you plan to install it on my device. At the moment, attempting to update the IoT firmware (v8024.99) results in a download error; there are no updates available for the other components (ARM, DSP, BMS). This information is critical because the retailer’s return window is closing soon, and I need to decide whether to keep the device or return it.

Please also provide confirmation of the following points:

The rollback firmware is considered stable and safe for normal operation.

The company Bluetti acknowledges that the device instability was caused by the latest firmware version.

After the rollback I will monitor the station’s behavior and report the results promptly. Until I receive confirmation, it is important for me to know your official recommendation: whether to keep the device provided stability can be guaranteed quickly, or to initiate a return if stability will not be ensured before the return window closes.

Thank you in advance - I look forward to your confirmation and further instructions.

Hi @Alex.G, I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Our system incorrectly marked your email as invalid, so no staff was assigned to follow up. We can arrange a callback if needed.
We have applied to roll you back to the original firmware IoT v8024.10. Have you received it yet? Please note that we have temporarily named the old firmware v99. Please upgrade to it only once.
Let us know once the upgrade is successful, and we will disable the update prompt to avoid further disturbance.
We hope everything goes smoothly.
